<h2 class="sectionedit1" id="maximize_screen_display">Maximize Screen Display</h2>
<div class="level2">

<p>
The default display is shown here:
</p>

<p>
<img src="../opencpn/manual/advanced_features/maxdisplay.jpg" class="media" alt="" />
</p>

<p>
The display can be maximized to this. 
</p>

<p>
<img src="../opencpn/manual/advanced_features/maxscreen1.jpeg" class="media" title="maxscreen1.jpg" alt="maxscreen1.jpg" />
</p>

<p>
Gone are the <strong>Menu Bar</strong> (at the top), the <strong>Status Bar</strong> (at the bottom) and the <strong>Toolbar</strong>.
</p>

<p>
Loss of the <strong>Toolbar</strong>? Not really … just click on the <strong>icon</strong> in the upper left corner to display the <strong>Toolbar</strong> for a specified time.
</p>

<p>
And the <strong>location, COG and SOG</strong> that are displayed in the <strong>Status Bar</strong> can be displayed on the <strong>Dashboard</strong> plugin.
</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>
<strong>SETTINGS</strong>
</p>

<p>
The settings to maximize the display are on <strong>Options/User Interface</strong> page.
</p>

<p>
I prefer to increase the <strong>Toolbar auto-hide</strong> time to 4 sec ILO the default of 2 sec.
</p>

</p>

<p>
<img src="../opencpn/manual/advanced_features/maxscreen3.jpeg" class="media" title="maxscreen3.jpg" alt="maxscreen3.jpg" />
</p>

<p>
<strong>CAUTION</strong>: Do not check the ‘Enable Touchscreen interface’. A bug In <strong>OpenCPN 4.6.1</strong> will cause the chart ‘piano keys’ to sometimes turn black.
